This is what I came up with. I tried to split our config options into 3
sections: "processor", "platform options", and "bus options". Maybe
that's not necessary, but... easy to combine them by removing 4 lines.
:) The diff itself is large; it may be better to look at the end result
instead. I didn't actually change any dependencies here, just moved
them around.

I noticed some obsolete config options (e.g. CONFIG_SERIAL_CONSOLE,
CONFIG_PC_KEYBOARD). Also, it's possible to create incorrect
configurations such as CONFIG_POWER3 and CONFIG_SPRUCE. Also, APUS
really deserves its own config file, and the "IBM 4xx options" menu
should be hidden if !CONFIG_4xx. A lot of configure help is also
missing, especially on embedded options. I figure these can be later
patches.
